Chapter 142 The Future Vision with Xia Xinyu

Chen Yuan: I'll be right back, I'm already on the subway.

This message was sent an hour ago.

So, Xia Xinyu had already heated up the food half an hour ago.

And now, the food was cold.

Looking at Xiao Yu, who was waiting with her for Chen Yuan, Xia Xinyu stroked its head and explained, "It's not like he's out early and back late every day."

"Woof woof woof!" the dog barked a few times.

"What, you're saying he's been coming back late for the past few days, and that's not right?"

After translating Yu Zi's dog language, Xia Xinyu continued patiently, "You can't say that about him. What if he's really busy?"

"Woof woof..."

Yu Zi tilted its head, looking a little confused.

"What? I should be angry?" Xia Xinyu shook her head, denying it gently. "Be generous, don't be so petty."

"..." Yu Zi felt a little scared.

The female owner in front of it was clearly looking at it, but it seemed like she was talking to someone else, sometimes serious, sometimes gentle.

Did I do something wrong?

Perhaps sensing the subtle emotion in her tone, the dog didn't even dare to bark, but just lay on the ground, drooping its head and lowering its eyes, showing its honesty and sincerity.

Ending her self-entertainment, Xia Xinyu stood up, walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, and rested her face in her hands, looking outside.

Chen Yuan told her that he had discovered a thief today, the police had come, and the school leaders had even driven to pick him up.

But the version Xia Xinyu heard from Zhou Fu was that Chen Yuan had knocked down a thief with one punch.

The difference was in the method.

But she knew the reason, Chen Yuan didn't want her to worry, thinking he was taking risks and doing dangerous things, so he said he 'discovered' him.

However, after seeing the incident on Douyin in the same city and reading the comments, Xia Xinyu realized that Zhou Fu was also holding back.

She held back the part about the robber taking out a knife and trying to escape.

In other words, the things Chen Yuan didn't mention would indeed make her very, very worried.

"And he's coming back so late... really."

A look of worry gradually appeared in Xia Xinyu's eyes. At the same time, her mouth puffed up slightly, showing her emotions.

But even so, she still stood at the window, watching for his figure under the streetlight in the courtyard.

Chen Yuan: I'll be right back, go to bed early.

"..."

After receiving this message, Xia Xinyu closed the window and drew the curtains. Under Yu Zi's puzzled gaze, she walked out of the room.

Then, she placed the key under the mat in front of the door and returned to her room, as if she had never waited for him in his room at all.

Sitting at her desk, Xia Xinyu had no heart to do her homework.

You clearly said not to make each other worry...

With such an unbalanced feeling, she sent a message: Okay okay, got it.

………

Why isn't she swallowing gold ingots?

Chen Yuan felt something was off.

Because he had indeed made Xia Xinyu wait for quite a while.

Lao Mo's tutoring was understandable, after all, the competition was approaching and he couldn't delay his studies. But the welfare girl incident really messed up his plan to go home.

He was a full forty minutes late.

If Xinyu hadn't been waiting for him, that would have been fine.

But if she had been waiting, then he would have hurt her a little.

After Chen Yuan brought Yu Zi back home in the morning, he put the only key under the mat. He thought that if he came back late today, he would have Xinyu feed it for him, and then take it out to poop.

Xia Xinyu was likely to be heating up food at home, waiting for him to come back...

However, it was a bit narcissistic to think that way. It was so late now, and it wasn't long before Xinyu's bedtime. Besides, she had to concentrate on preparing for the monthly exam, so she had her own things to do, how could she put all her thoughts on him.

That's right.

After getting out of the taxi, Chen Yuan walked into the courtyard. At this time, the windows of his room were closed and the curtains were drawn.

Xinyu didn't come... well, she doesn't owe me anything.

Go home, take a shower and go to sleep.

As he went upstairs, Chen Yuan recalled what happened today and suddenly felt a sense of peace and beauty.

For him, he was an omniscient and omnipotent god, solving everything out of interest, and never failing.

But when he saw Li Tong's frightened side, saw her frantically searching for wounds on his body, and then cupping his face with a look of relief after the fear ended, he was really touched.

He even thought about calling her "sister" just to make her happy.

But he didn't do that.

Because Chen Yuan knew that she was only one "sister" away from bursting into tears. Whether he said it then or before they parted, she would definitely cry a lot.

If it were during the day, it would be fine, he could still comfort her. But he was in a hurry to go home now, and he didn't have time to spend with her.

Chen Yuan had already imagined the scene—

"Sister, go home early."

"...What did you call me?"

Covering her mouth, Li Tong instantly burst into tears, her thoughts rushing like a spring, past memories all intertwined at this moment.

"Nothing, I'm leaving."

"...Okay." Although she said that, when she saw him stopping a taxi, the heroic Li Tong, as if shedding all her independence, self-reliance, and courage, said with a sob, "No... are you really leaving?"

Don't mess with me.

Don't steal the memories that belong only to me and Xin Bao by the reservoir and the river beach.

By the way, when it's animated, remember to hire a better voice actor to fully express the tension of Xin Bao's sobbing at that moment.

But today, for Li Tong...

It should be a happy day.

Looking at the domineering older sister in the photo, forcibly putting her arm around her impatient younger brother for a photo. He knew that Li Tong's incomplete soul had been somewhat filled.

Click.

Chen Yuan turned off the screen as he was about to go upstairs.

It wasn't that he was feeling guilty.

He was very open and honest in his heart, this kind of photo of the police and the people as one family, no matter what, was positive energy, and represented the satisfaction of the masses...

Then would you dare to show it to Xinyu?

I wouldn't dare.

After reaching the door, Chen Yuan took out the key from under the mat. Just as he was about to open the door, he decided to inform Xia Xinyu first.

Chen Yuan: I'm home, if there's nothing else, I'm going to take a shower.

After sending this message, he was just about to open the door.

Then, he saw Xia Xinyu coming out.

But the door was still closed.

It was the Xia Xinyu from three minutes later.

Huh, why is that?

Just as he was thinking this, Xia Xinyu stood at his door, ready to knock. But her finger stopped before it landed, hovering in the air.

Then, she crossed her arms, bit her lip, and looked unhappy.

Her cheeks were puffed up, like little balloons.

She must be angry, right?

Then, Xinyu took out her phone and started typing in the message bar.

Then, Chen Yuan peeked from the side.

How busy can you be that you can't send a message? The food I heated up for you is cold...

After typing these words, she deleted them all.

Then, she raised her head, as if thinking for a while. Then, she edited again.

You've been coming back late more often recently, if there's something going on, I hope you can discuss it with me properly.

Hey, that's a good way to say it, rational communication is the best way to maintain a stable relationship.

But Xia Xinyu didn't think so, she obviously felt that rational communication was too much of a loss, why should she? Then, she deleted it all again.

Once again, she typed:

Finally, she deleted everything and returned to her room with a satisfied smile as she 'opened' her door.

"..."

Damn, if he had really entered the room, such an interesting scene would have happened in the hallway?

This is foresight.

There are always new discoveries.

But now was not the time to marvel at the charm of his superpower, but rather that today, he had really angered Xinyu.

He came back too late and didn't send a message.

If he confessed to Xia Xinyu what had happened that made it impossible for him to use his phone, she would definitely forgive him. But he obviously couldn't tell her that.

Just like the thief today who took out a knife.

These things could only be concealed.

However, since he had seen the future of making Xinyu angry.

He would naturally change it drastically.

Creak—

After opening the door, Xia Xinyu was startled to see Chen Yuan standing outside, "Why didn't you go in?"

Chen Yuan turned to look at Xinyu and said, "I feel a little sorry for you."

"Ah? Why do you think so?" Hearing this, Xia Xinyu's mood improved a lot, and she asked with a smile.

But soon, her expression turned into puzzled concern.

"I brought back a dog, but I troubled you with taking care of it, and I came back so late, sigh," Chen Yuan said.

"It's okay, but what's wrong with you today?" Xia Xinyu said concernedly, "The messages, you were very slow to reply."

"I was being interviewed all morning, I didn't even take a nap. After school, Lao Mo tutored me for two hours, and when I was on the subway, the police station called me over to provide additional materials, so it's so late now. And I didn't have time to use my phone," Chen Yuan said wearily.

"So that's why you're so late?" Xia Xinyu asked in surprise, "That's, too unlucky."

"...Yeah."

"You must be very tired, go to bed early tonight."

Since that was the reason, Xia Xinyu had no reason to be angry.

But she was still a little curious and asked puzzled, "But, why were you standing at the door?"

"Because I felt that if I went straight back to my room, I would just fall asleep and then wake up at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

"What's wrong with that?"

"I didn't see you, and it felt like something was missing."

"..."

A blush appeared on Xia Xinyu's cheeks.

Then, she gave a generous smile and said jokingly, "Now that you've seen me, it's not missing, right?"

"Yeah, it's not missing, I'm going back to my room."

After the tone returned to harmony, Chen Yuan also prepared to return to his room.

Then suddenly, Xia Xinyu walked in front of him. Grabbing his hands, she rolled up both sleeves and began to feel around.

"What are you looking for?"

"I'm worried about you."

After not finding any cuts, Xia Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief. But when she spoke again, her tone was still worried: "I saw the Douyin of you catching the thief, and I saw the comments saying that the thief even used a knife. You didn't even tell me this."

"Because the knife hadn't even been taken out yet when he was subdued..."

"I know."

Xia Xinyu nodded, then looked at Chen Yuan and said seriously, "Let's go ask for a peace charm another day."

"You still believe in that?"

"I don't know," Xia Xinyu said honestly, "But I hope we are all safe and sound."

"..."

These words were like a lock, directly sealing Chen Yuan's heart.

For his courageous act, everyone either admired, marveled, criticized, or worried.

Only Xia Xinyu, she didn't care about the incident itself, and didn't have any positive, negative, or neutral evaluations of his actions.

She sincerely looked into his eyes,

Wishing only for peace.

And this was not a sudden change in Xia Xinyu.

As early as a month ago, when that Ms. Yuan Mouyu fell into the water, she hugged him and told him not to put himself in danger.

Xia Xinyu was real.

So real that 'showing off in front of others' in front of her was meaningless, she would only say, that's good, it's okay if you don't, you are you, even if you don't do anything, you are still you.

And in order to make him realize the importance of 'peace', she specifically said 'we', we must all be safe.

Xia Xinyu was using something to lock him.

The way she looked at him with anticipation, no matter how you looked at it, was so endearing.

Even without acting cute, he wanted to bite... bite her.

Had they hugged? Had they kissed?

Suddenly, Chen Yuan's mind recalled Li Tong's provocation.

And for some reason, he was especially serious about it.

Just then, Chen Yuan saw Xia Xinyu's eyes suddenly widen, revealing a surprised light.

No, this was a phantom.

It was the Xia Xinyu from three minutes later.

Then why was she making that expression?

He was standing right in front of her, how could he scare her?

Then, Chen Yuan saw Xia Xinyu slowly raise her hands. Her phantom embraced him.

It seemed that she was slightly frightened because he had hugged her just now. But after realizing it, she also hugged him back.

This should be considered the first hug.

After all, the previous one was a head hug, and the posture was not very formal.

So in three minutes, we will hug like this?

Then, Chen Yuan could see with his own eyes that Xia Xinyu's face turned red.

Little by little, it became redder and redder.

Then, she closed her eyes, her crystal-clear, cherry-like lips parted slightly, and she even tilted her head slightly, taking the initiative to move up...

Like watching a 3D movie, Chen Yuan was too immersed.

Could it be, today?

Suddenly, Xia Xinyu opened her eyes. Then she raised her hands and waved them quickly, her cheeks flushed with shame as she explained something...

He read from her lip movements words like "not," "very strange," and so on.

Hey! You already closed your eyes and moved up!

Why did you refuse?

"Chen Yuan, what's wrong?" Xia Xinyu looked at him puzzled.

He hadn't spoken since just now.

"Okay, then let's ask for two charms," Chen Yuan said, returning to the reality of the moment.

"Two charms?" Xia Xinyu was a little puzzled, "If we're together, one charm should be enough, right?"

Two, that's too expensive.

"Me."

Looking at Xia Xinyu, who would reject him in the next three minutes, Chen Yuan said stubbornly, "I also want to ask for a marriage one."
